Lyrics

John

(Verse 1)

There's rain on my doorstep

I've got music in my mind

Time on my hands to sit and wonder why

In this world of dark angels

And blood ridden reapers

With money and the power of life

They gonna live as our keepers

(Chorus)

I want to be alone today

Cause that's where I feel safe

Alone in the rain

The sadness gonna numb the pain

Everyday

Everyday

(Verse 2)

They give you golden promise

The knowledge of the ages

Speaking in tongues, golden wings rosey faces

Saw the war on TV today

A speech for all, but nothing to say

And I wonder why

I ask myself why, I believe well it looks

Like I've been deceived

(Chorus)

I want to be alone today

And that's where I feel safe

Alone in the rain

The sadness gonna numb the pain

Do you know your name

When you're alone in the rain

We're all the same

I'm gone today

(Outro)

They give me golden promise

The knowledge of the ages

Speaking in tongues, golden wings rosey faces

Golden promise

The knowledge of the ages

Speaking in tongues, golden wings rosey faces

Golden promise

The knowledge of the ages

Speaking in tongues, golden wings rosey faces

Golden promise

The knowledge of the ages

Speaking in tongues, golden wings rosey faces

Golden promise

The knowledge of the ages

Golden promise

The knowledge of the ages

Today

I don't know my name
